mod.io is a mod API & SDK for game developers created by the team behind ModDB.com and IndieDB.com. It is similar to Steam Workshop, but offers cross-platform support. It can be integrated in-game using the REST API, C/C++ SDK or engine plugins (if available) Unity and Unreal Engine are ready.
Features include:
Platform agnostic (support 1 click mod installs on Steam, Epic Games Store, Discord, GOG, itch.ioand even consoles in the future)
Clientless (mod.io has no other dependencies and works behind the scenes in your game)
Embeddable web app UI, so you can integrate your mod community anywhere
Powerful search, filtering and tagging of mods
Moderation and reporting systems built-in

Benefits of using mod.io:
mod.io offers the same core functionality as Steamworks Workshop (1 click mod installs in-game), plus mod hosting, moderation and all of the critical pieces needed. Where we differ is our approach to modding and the flexibility a REST API offers. For example:
Our API is not dependent on a client or SDK, allowing you to run mod.io in many places such as your homepage and launchers
Designing a good mod browsing UI is hard, our plugins ship with a UI built in to save you a lot of effort and help your mods stand out
We don’t apply rules globally, so if you want to enable patronage, sales or other experimental features, reach out to discuss
Our platform is built by the super experienced ModDB.com team and is continually improving for your benefit
Your community can consume the mod.io API to build modding fan sites or discord bots if they want
Large studios and publishers:
A private white label option is available to license, if you want a fully featured mod-platform that you can control and host in-house. Contact us to discuss.
